MassResistance folks told me that Google started doing this leading up to a recent vote on a Transgender Bill in Mass., in an obvious attempt to shut down dissent. There were not aware that the new Firefox is also censoring them.

This is an illegal violation of the 1st Amendment, 4th Amendment and Digital Millenium Act. We need to get to our Representatives on this ASAP.Ref

As a private company, none of that applies to Google. Those amendments protect us from the government censoring our speech, not a private company. Applying the DMCA would be a stretch as well. A private company can ban anyone they feel like, if massresistance doesn’t like it, move to a new host. No one is preventing them from doing that.
